CTA’s trains and buses are the best and most affordable ways to get to various sporting events, concerts, fireworks and more festivities across Chicago
May your Christmas be merry and bright as you ride with CTA to your holiday activities across the city. Customers can save money by purchasing an unlimited rides pass, either the 1-Day ($5) – far more economical and convenient than the price of gas and parking – or the 3-Day ($15) pass – a real budget-saving move.
NOTE: CTA buses and trains will operate on a Sunday/Holiday schedule, Monday,
December 25.
